Research direction

No source file is named. Start with the gdrcopy tests already completed and the containerized language-model workload, then identify observable profiling output for the model-loading path. Done means documenting a reproducible way to distinguish gdrcopy activity from ordinary loading and stating what evidence confirms it is enabled.

Description

question

I have successfully installed gdrcopy on my host and completed its tests. Afterwards, I launched a container running my language model application, with a focus on profiling the loading of the model from the local disk. I am looking for methods to confirm whether gdrcopy is active when my application is running. Since I am new to this, I would appreciate any guidance on how to verify the operation of gdrcopy in this context.
